CHENNAI: Cybernet-SlashSupport (CSS), which provides tech support, software testing and development and remote infrastructure management (RIM) services, has announced that it has opened a new IT services facility in Chennai.

The facility is located on a leased two-acre infrastructure at Madras Export Processing Zone (MEPZ), near Tambaram. This is also Cybernet-Slash Support’s first expansion into an SEZ (Special Economic Zone). The new facility has been set up at an investment of $4 million and will become fully operational in September. CSS, which employs around 5,000 professionals, also has an offshore facility in Coimbatore. The company has two facilities in the U.S., a near shore facility in Poland and a redundancy centre in Singapore. “We are at an exciting phase of growth and seeing good traction from customers in the U.S. and Europe for our OpEx (Operating Expense) optimisation solutions. This expansion has been necessitated by the overall growth in the business, especially in the infrastructure management services space,” a release quoted Shiva Ramani, CEO, Cybernet-SlashSupport, as saying. The new facility is expected to house 350 people over the next six months.
